all things for good: OBX

This past week flew by! Sunday was Emily's graduation and Mommanay and Poppa came down to celebrate. It was so good seeing them again. Sadly, they had to leave on Monday. It was a short visit but I am glad they could come. Tuesday morning I woke up around 4 to get ready to leave for the OUTER BANKS! Dad wanted to leave at 8 but I said we should leave at 4 so we could get there earlier. He ended up saying we could leave at 5 if I drove the first couple hours. So we tried to leave at 5 but didn't end up leaving until about 5:45 which is pretty typical. If we shoot to leave at 5 for long cars trips we usually don't leave until 45 min. to an hour later. I drove from 5:45 until about 8:30. By 8:30 I was super sleepy and switched with my Mom. The trip there went by pretty fast. We got there at about 12ish. I won't bore you with details about every single thing we did but here a few of the things we did: played frisbee on the beach, played football on the beach, relaxed on the beach, went in the ocean, played in the sand, went in the hot tub, went in the lazy river, went in the pool, went crab hunting, body-surfed, boogie boarded, took walks on the beach, looked for shells, ate fresh homemade donuts, ate custard, went to the Wright Brother's Memorial, went to Jockey's Ridge, flew kites, ate fudge, went to a light house, and ate pizza in our hotel room. It was a great vacation. Below are some pictures from Emily's graduation and our trip.
